A satirical, humorous Russian anticipation of the current Russo-Ukrainian war

Produced in 2021, just before the current Russo-Ukrainian War, Once upon a time in Odessa -- the brilliant history of the Thief of Odessa, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iJHw87vlv8 is a charming and elegant treatment of the Russian civil war in Ukraine, focused on the escapades of a gang of Jewish hoodlums in Odessa, who largely take over the city during this period of instability in Russia's history, during the Russian Civil War following the Russian Revolution. Their leader, the Thief of Odessa -- a short, elegant, mustachioed young Jewish man, with a violent streak -- perhaps not surprisingly, bears a certain resemblance to President Zelensky of Ukraine, elected in 2019. Much of the action takes place in a cabaret in Odessa featuring Yiddish-American tunes like "Bei mir bist du schön" -- a bit of an anachronism, of course, since it didn't become a hit until 1937. The Jewish gang both terrorizes and charms the city, robbing, intimidating, seducing and extorting at will. They import advanced weaponry like a Maxim Machine Gun from the West, and, are effectively invincible, and have a great time, even defeating Russian military forces at times, in their reign of lawlessness throughout Odessa. Finally, a Russian general takes a firm hand in Odessa, and puts the Thief of Odessa and the key leaders of his Jewish gang into prison. Order and lawfulness are once more restored to Odessa, and to Ukraine. I'm not reading too much into this, to see this series as an anticipation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, am I?
